iprowifi4965 not working on Thinkpad X230

[djvasi]

Haiku version: R1/beta2, hrev54154+123

Also tested nightly hre54948 with same result

Hardware: Lenovo Thinkpad X230, with "Intel Centrino Advanced-N 6205" wifi (8086:0085 in listdev)

Works well under FreeBSD 12

Expected behavior: Can list nearby wireless networks

Actual behavior: Network adapter is detected, listed in ifconfig. But no networks shown. Attempting to run ifconfig /dev/net/iprowifi4965/0 scan just hangs.

Interesting log lines:

Tested with a recent nightly? I believe several drivers were synced from FreeBSD13 not long ago.

[korli]

the firmware file is actually iwlwifi-6000g2a-6.ucode according to the source.

Seems to be working now, on hrev55206. Thanks!
